It's not really hypocrisy. More people trust Obama to do the right thing than they they do any Republican. Republicans are known to invade countries on false pretenses in order to commandeer their resources and have people kidnaped and tortured without trial, so naturally anyone who isn't stupid would oppose their use of drones or any other weapon. It's not hypocrisy to trust my sister but not a sicko pedo rapist to babysit my kids. Obama deserves more of the benefit of the doubt that torture-supporting Republican scum, that's all.

Sorry if that bugs you.

So let's stop feeding the children and start bombing them. Problem solved, and so much cheaper.


Obama has sanctioned the murder of a US citizen without due process, and killed 3 innocent US citizens in the process. Four U.S. citizens killed in Obama drone strikes, but 3 were not intended targets | PolitiFact Texas Kesha Rogers, a Democrat, calls this an impeachable offense.

To date drones have killed more than 2300 people, if the numbers they've released are accurate. With this administrations ability to fudge numbers, I'd guess it is far more. We don't have a clue how many were innocents.

It's hypocritical to say one type of bombing is okay, and another isn't, until you consider the Obama cultism and the "he can do no wrong" mantra they spew.

Explain yourselves liberals
I'd like to know why the America-haters don't understand the difference there is dropping a rocket/bomb from 20,000 ft. as compared to one fired/dropped from a few thousand feet at most. Seems to me Republicans and Democrats have supported the use of drones. Maybe those who hate this country want our firepower to be less effective?

Welcome to 2014, drones are a thing.

I expect automated battlefield combatants (not the low grade ones we have but terrifyingly effective ones) are coming next.

You're mashing up the facts. Obama sanctioned the murder of Americans using drones. Bush never did this, and no Republican/Libertarian would have backed this act. It's one thing to use drones on the battlefield and quite another to enter friendly nations air space to kill people on their soil without their permission.

We should just go to war with Pakistan if we are going to bomb them.

It doesn't surprise me you'd suggest that, or that there seems to be some sort of defense/sympathy offered for targeted persons.

Sympathy for innocent Americans and non-combatant foreigners? Oh the inhumanity of such beliefs!

You are mashing facts. This is a laughably absurd assertion.
